Cherries in Winter: My Family's Recipe for Hope in Hard Times

An irresistible gem of a book that shows us that "when poverty looms, your best weapon may be a well-nourished soul" (People).

When Suzan Colón was laid off from her dream job at a national magazine, she needed to cut her budget, and fast. That meant dusting off her grandmother Matilda's old recipe folder and learning how to cook cheaply and simply. But Suzan found more than just amazing recipes--she found a new appreciation for the strong women in her family and the key to their survival through hard times.

Full of heart, Cherries in Winter makes you want to cook, it makes you want to know your own family's stories, and, above all, it makes you feel rich no matter what.
